Thanks to our friends at Turner, Dad's Garage's commitment to fostering diverse and inclusive voices in improv continues. We recognize that an array of experiences and perspectives makes for stronger performers and, ultimately, better comedy. We believe that our work should reflect the wide range of voices that make the United States, and our hometown of Atlanta, an awesome place to live.

As part of this commitment to diversity, equity, and inclusion, we want to increase access to our class and our stage. We have created a "Diversity and Inclusivity Scholarship" for our improv classes as a way to foster inclusion.

We want to open the doors to improv comedy for everyone, regardless of race, gender identity, sexuality, nationality, or class. We provide a safe, uplifting environment for everyone to practice their craft. Ultimately, the "Dad's Garage Family" will reflect the diversity we see in our community and our nation.

Applying for a Diversity and Inclusivity Scholarship is simple -- just a few short-answer questions. We don't need to see your tax returns, driver's license, or anything like that. We simply want to know how you will bring a diverse perspective to our company, and why you want to be part of Dad's Garage.

A scholarship gives you access to one session of all levels of improv classes at Dad's Garage at no cost.

Students will be expected to start at level 1 and progress through the class system, regardless of previous improv experience.
